Quick guide to how to use the different aspects of the Stygian Blade (or is it Stygius?).
00:00 Intro
01:30 Aspect of Zagreus
03:12 Aspect of Nemesis
05:18 Aspect of Poseidon
06:43 Aspect of Arthur
These are just my recommendations for builds for each aspect of the starting weapon in Hades. I don’t cover tips on how to unlock each aspect. There are already guides and walkthroughs that can help you do that. Honestly, just talk to everyone and you’ll unlock them over time. It’s not difficult, and is a fun part of the game.
See a build that I missed? Please let me know in the comments if you have a build you prefer on each aspect.

Nice guide! Please make more!
Nice guide dude! Hope you will do the other weapons too. Keep up the good work!
I do appreciate your guides! I enjoy the way you approach providing information.
Pretty poorly informed. Attacking isn’t the optimal play for damage, instead dash-striking twice followed by a special, rinse and repeat is a safer and stronger strategy for most of the game, especially combined with the Aspect of Nemesis because critical hits do triple damage in this game.
Also I disagree that ias/ims makes enough of a difference to warrant button mashing for the first aspect, in fact it’s hardly noticeable and works well with only a few niche builds (namely Flurry Slash and Cursed Slash from the Daedalus hammer, the latter I believe deserves special mention.)
I would recommend checking out a few of Haelian’s videos to do your research, the difference in pace of the gameplay footage is insane and he tends to explain what’s going on pretty well.
I mean, i discovered some of this things by punishing myself with the game :)… but still great guide. I don't use the blade that much but yeah i can be great.
Really nice video. I just found your channel and hope that you will grow 🙂
I'm on attempt 37, gotten to hades at least 9 or 10 times, have all base weapons unlocked, but I still don't know how to equip an aspect or unlock them. All youtube guides are only talking about how to unlock hidden aspects, but nobody explains how to get the normal aspects
With the blade I like the Athena boon for special reflect because it’s an aoe move but it is a bit slow
Honestly, atk speed aspect with ares attack and Athena cast/special with merciless end is my favourite. It's my fastest clear so far 17min 10heat.
Great guide, this should help a lot of newer players out.
Keep up the good work Skip. Loving your content.
You pronounce Stygian like you pronounce “Styx” in The River Styx. Stygian as in comes from Styx.
at this point I realize no one really knows how to unlock aspects at the start beczuse it seems to be fairly random. because there is no spoiler in saying how to unlock aspects. if someone wants to know how to unlock aspect clearly they probably been through a few runs. cmon.
